(Washington Times) Sometimes America’s free system of government and constitutional Democratic-Republic just make it too hard for the president to properly do his job, suggested Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates on Wednesday.

At a Politico “Playbook Cocktails” event, Mr. Gates was asked about Mr. Obama’s job performance. His answer, The Daily Caller reports: “Some days, I wish we had a system like the U.K. where, you know, the party in power could do a lot and you know, you’d see how it went and then fine, you could un-elect them.”
